After the 4th of July, grandma and grandpa came to stay with the kids and Dennis and I packed up and headed to Canada to spend 5 days relaxing and listening to music at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Last year, we hardly listened to any music because we were too busy keeping the kids occupied so this year we decided to go alone and while we missed the kids, we sure enjoyed the folk fest without them! We got to hear some of our favorites: The Jayhawks, Joy Kills Sorrow, The Be Good Tanyas, Lucinda Williams, Trampled By Turtles and Jeff Tweedy. We also got introduced to some new favorites too: Dan Magnun, David Wax Museum, The Tom Fun Orchestra, and Teegan and Sara. We had a great time doing what Dennis and I love doing: camping and listening to music. It was good for us to have some time away. It was awesome all around. The Winnipeg Folk Fest can't be beat as far as festivals go. It's clean, well organized, the food is awesome, you get up close and personal with some of your favorite groups and they draw in a good crowd. The Be Good Tanyas:
